The climate summit saw the launch of the Wildlife Connect initiative by WWF, the Center for Large Landscape Conservation and the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas\u2019 Connectivity Conservation Specialist Group, to secure ecological connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>Conservation scientist Amrita Neelakantan, who spoke virtually at the launch of Wildlife Connect at COP27, said codifying infrastructure into the GBF was \u201calways going to be hard\u201d because the GBF will always be seen as something that\u2019s coming from the biodiversity community. \u201cAnd so for many of us, that is still wildlife trade, that is still illegal poaching, and so many other things that are direct wildlife measurements; infrastructure becomes reaching out across the aisle, across siloed systems,\u201d Neelakantan told Mongabay-India.<\/p>\n<p>Neelakantan, coordinator for the Network for Conserving Central India, works on human-dominated landscapes in central India, home to over 20% of global tiger populations. In a recent study available in pre-print, Neelakantan and co-authors call for a landscape-level conservation planning in India through a \u201cjudicious mix of land-sharing and land-sparing approaches, and co-production of ecosystem services\u201d to achieve the global 30by30 target.<\/p>\n<p>They find that \u201conly a fraction\u201d (\u223c15%) of high-priority biodiversity and conservational potential areas are included in India\u2019s extant protected area network that covers 5% of the country\u2019s area. Consequently, a large percentage of India\u2019s wildlife live outside protected boundaries giving rise to situations spanning between coexistence and conflict.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/wildlifeconnect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/grid-pavagada_ANC6290-768&#215;512-1.webp\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb title_text=\u00bbgrid-pavagada_ANC6290-768&#215;512&#8243; hover_enabled=\u00bb0&#8243; sticky_enabled=\u00bb0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb hover_enabled=\u00bb0&#8243; sticky_enabled=\u00bb0&#8243;]<p>Overlaying administrative (district) boundaries, the paper highlights 338 districts that play a key role in maintaining India\u2019s biodiversity and ecosystem services; of these, 169 are \u2018high priority\u2019 districts, where the management focus needs to be on the retention of habitats, ecosystem services and biodiversity through both, state-driven and participatory approaches.<\/p>\n<p>The next 169 are \u2018potential priority\u2019 districts, where the management focus, besides retention of important sites, should also aim for proactive rewilding and ecological restoration efforts. \u201cIn conjunction, we also refer to India\u2019s aspirational districts, identified by the government of India\u2019s NITI Aayog for economic development.

Launched at COP15, the report weighs potential environmental impacts against anticipated economic benefits for such linear infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing from a database of 57 sources, the analysis finds that planned or ongoing road and railway projects impact the habitats of nearly 2,500 bird, amphibian and mammal species of conservation concern, with an especially high risk of accelerating the decline of species in the global tropics, especially in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and South America.<\/p>\n<p>The projects will trigger the release of 883 million tonnes of carbon from removed trees and vegetation. The loss of vegetation related to the works will also imperil the retention of 1.17 million tonnes of nitrogen \u2013 without the plants, that additional nitrogen could be toxic to downstream water supplies, the report warns. China, the COP15 President, has the most road and rail infrastructure planned, followed by Russia and Brazil. The assessment places South Asia in the low-risk-high benefit category with regards to low risk to nature from infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor India, the impact of infrastructure on wildlife comes from severing connectivity between protected areas which is essential for genetic health of wildlife populations. The issue is generally not that new areas are being opened up for clearing as in countries with high deforestation, such as Indonesia. In terms of roads leading to new clearing, India is low risk compared with high deforestation countries, but in terms of risks to landscape connectivity, the risk is not low,\u201d environmental geographer Ruth DeFries at the University of Columbia told Mongabay-India.
